Have now managed to use the car a little bit more using the local chademo. Still cannot get anything to read the DTCs and no one I have contacted seems to know anything that will connect. Local garage, couple of ebay suppliers and number of personal contacts all drawn blank. Have tried hobdrive...

Managed to get the car to the local chademo as thought I had just enough to get there and back if needed. Arrived and plugged in and initially the car then refused to charge or connect. Briefly started and then got a yellow car with exclamation mark on dash. Sat for five minutes and tried again...

Thanks for the feedback on the dongle - will investigate hobdrive further but it would not even connect when I tried let along search which carscanner would do. I dont have a pallet truck but do have other wheeled trollies but the issue is that I do not have a 2 post ramp so the access...

been out on the car again to try to read the DTC codes. Using the same wireless dongle as the OBzero app uses on my phone no issues cannot get either hobdrive or carscanner apps to connect to the car. Wondered if I was doing silly but the car ignition is on as per instructions but it tries to...

Been using the insulated tools nearly all day being very careful. Thanks not planning to strip to cells unless I need to at moment.

If they are the same I assume that I do not need to strip the blocks to individual cells? Except for the one cmu we think is not reporting? Next weekend job will be pack out of other one then got to get this dead one off ramp now.

Do these little videos help?

Opened up a cell block Reckon I have red bus judge from the colour. Now need to know what the other car has I guess.

the cell cases seem quite a tight fit in sideways and the space where the buzz bars go are over quite a severe moulded ridge in the casing below. Not had the cases open yet so do not know how much extra room might be inside the cases compared to the LEV50 batteries I assume there is some...

cell block of eight just removed measures 120x390 with height of 180mm space in the tray it was removed from you might squeeze 120x408 to the inside of the mounting bolts at each end with a height of 205 if you discard the foam over the top and have the cells almost banging on the top of the...

Thanks for feedback will look later. Seat had no wires attaching anything. Is mine an early car that only had a drivers uk airbag. I will look on dash for the key off set up like the 2011 car has. Glad I should be able to shut window. Need it down to push around but need it up to store.

well have worked hard today - got the pack out of the white 2010 car and down on the ground. Opened the top up but now how to I find the colours of the BMS units - do I have to strip out the tops of the cell packs once I have isolated them into blocks. Pack came out nice and easily using my...

Think the full number on the plate might be ZAA HA3W LDD 0001622 which certainly has 17 digits but this full number is not on the rear inner wing or the V5 and is on two lines on the door post plate

Not been brave enough to have the pack off yet but that is the next job - my car seems to have been a coventry council owned car for most of its life as all its MOT history up to about 2020 was MOT tested by coventry council garage however it is white with a vinyl wrapped black bonnet - the...

this is the first time that it has not charged but it still runs and drives and works the other car stopped and previous owner could not fix it either and suspect he has lost the chip in the key as well as from the data think that one of the cmu units are not working which is why it will not...

Sounds like a plan and at least I get to use my nice new insulated tools even if it is step into the unknown. Many thanks for the replies and advice will let you know. Assume that the cell readings look better for the 2010 unit - one mystery is that the 2011 car has 89K miles on its speedo yet...

managed to get the screen shots taken from my phone - everyday is a school day never knew you could screen shot a phone! So have managed to get the dongle to connect to both cars and get the cell values and read other data from them. The 2010 car I cannot currently charge at all but it does seem...

My 2010 earlier car does not even recognise the later "brick" being attached to the earlier 2010 car and dare not try the earlier direct lead onto the later "working" car. Even in its non functioning state the 2010 car does at least recognise the direct plug lead charger set up so something on...

yes last value it just says VIN mileage and other details does match up cannot charge the one car at all so only one shot will suffice and the other car is struggling to charge at the moment full stop too! In the wars here!

OBD zero managing to get this to connect to my phone now via the dongle but other than writing the screen data down how do I record it or access it from the phone. I have a folder for OBD on my phone but it only has a record of something in 2021 and a file of settings - cannot get it to record...
